IMPROVEMENT IN EAVES-TROUQH HANGERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,128, dated June 18, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL Drmrrcn, of Orwell, in the county of Bradford and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Eaves-Trough Hanging; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an eavestrough hanging, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth. a

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my eavestrough hanging; and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing the eaves-trough in position.

My eaves-trough fastening is made of two pieces of strap-iron, A and B, bent in proper shape, as follows: The piece A is bent with a hook, a, at one end, from which it is bent in curved shape, forming the hanging b in which the eaves-trough is to be placed. Then is formed the bead d, the balance of the piece A forming the bridge f, which reaches across the hanging b and has a hook, c, on its end to catch in the hook a. One end of the piece 13 is riveted to the bridge f at or near the center, and then bent in any suitable form, so that the other end may be nailed or otherwise secured to the roof.

The hanging being pressed open the hook a is caught on the back or thin side of the trough G; then thebead h of the trough is pressed into the bead d of the hanging. The bridge f is then pressed down, and the hook c caught in the hook to.

Some of the advantages of my eaves-trough fastening or hanging over those now generally in use are, that they can be made quicker and with less cost of material, the entire cost of mine being only about two cents. It requires no solder; forms a simple, yet strong and durable hanging. It is almost impossible to get out of repair. It is easily attached to both the trough and. the roof, saving time and labor.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The piece A, bent as described, so as to form the hook a, hanging b, bead d, bridge f, and hook c, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The within-described eaves-trough hanging, consisting of the two pieces A and B, when said pieces are bent and connected together substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of March, A. D. 1872.
